Apple recently announced that they can make a better car battery.

"Apple intends to move ahead with its own version of self-driving car technology including a “breakthrough” battery design following a project that began in 2014"

Also, this article discussing two patents they filed back in 2010 and 2011.

And then this article:

"PEMFCs have been used in largest range of applications. In particular, they are considered the most promising candidates for transport applications, due to their high power density, fast start-up time, high efficiency, low operating temperature, and easy and safe handling. However, the PEMFC technology still has many challenges including high cost, low durability and hydrogen storage problems which limit the wide-world commercialization of it (Table 8)."

And also this interesting tidbit in the same article.
"The standard electrolyte material used in Low-Temperature PEM fuel cells is a fully fluorinated Teflon-based material produced by DuPont for space applications in the 1960s, which is generally called Nafion."

With the increasing demand for hydrogen and Plug being a supplier... one can only hope!
